The Agricultural/Ranching designation denotes areas intended to remain in agricultural or ranching production over the long-term. However, these areas are anticipated to transition to other land uses over time. Agricultural/Ranching land may allow residential development of up to one dwelling unit per acre depending upon zoning classification. Public service demands are not anticipated to be as great as in residential designations. No commercial or industrial development is anticipated. This designation is intended to be revisited in the future when the property owners wish to quit ranching and consider developing. New land use designations will be determined based on adopted ASAP goals and objectives. Permitted in Impact Zones 1 through 6. COMMERCIAL/EMPLOYMENT The Commercial/Employment designation refers to areas where professional offices, tourism, recreation, service uses, warehousing, and light industrial uses are generally appropriate. This use requires appropriate buffering considerations from adjoining residential areas. The specific allowable uses are determined based upon the zoning of each particular site and will consider adjacent land uses, traffic impacts and the intensity of any proposed development. Residential uses are not anticipated in this designation. Uses such as lodging, schools, and churches may not be permitted or desired within the airport's 65 LDN noise contour. Permitted in Impact Zones 1 through 6, however, no new residential uses are permitted within Impact Zones 1 through 5 or within the 60 LDN noise contour unless accompanied by a holistic land use plan to protect the long-term operations of the Airport. COMMERCIAL The Commercial designation denotes typical community or regional commercial uses. Intended uses include office, retail, service, civic, lodges, health related and other similar uses as permitted by the appropriate zoning designations. Residential uses of all density categories are permitted, but subject to density and buffering standards set out by the overlying zoning districts. Permitted in Impact Zones 2 through 6, however, no new residential uses are permitted within Impact Zones 1 through 5 or within the 60 LDN noise contour, unless accompanied by a holistic land use plan to protect the long-term operations of the Airport. COMMERCIAL/RECREATION The Commercial/Recreation designation is intended to allow a mix of retail commercial uses, but with an emphasis on recreation related uses such as resorts, campgrounds, equestrian facilities, lodges, hotels/motels, RV parks, fishing camps and swimming pools. This category may also include civic and office uses. Residential uses are not anticipated with this designation. Permitted in Impact Zones 2 through 6, however, no new residential uses are permitted within Impact Zones 1 through 5 or within the 60 LDN noise contour. VERY LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL_(less than 1 DU/AC) The Very Low Density Residential category is intended for large-lot single-family housing in a rural setting. Development in these areas will consist mainly of detached single-family homes on 2-acre minimum sized lots or larger. The basic character of development is rural, with most natural features of the land retained. Typically, keeping of horses or other livestock is permitted, possibly in association with pre-existing and ongoing farming or ranching. Public services demands are not as great as in higher density, more urban development. No commercial or industrial development is anticipated. Permitted only in Impact Zone 6, however, not within the 60 LDN noise contour, unless accompanied by a holistic land use plan to protect the long-term operations of the Airport. 24
